This is a known bug we introduced when trying to solve a different one, 
Previous bug made the jack client being eventually invalidated so that you 
couldn't reuse it for a new play. We solved it by creating a new client when 
the previous client died. The problems seems to be that clam seems to think 
that the client died every time. A review of the whole jack support should be 
done because other problems exist.

The bug is that grave that it should be addressed before the next release but 
for the short term we have other priorities and we cannot address it right 
now. Being open source, any patch solving the problem is welcome.

David.
